Thick, Chewy Oatmeal Cookies
Author
Ingredients1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups rolled (not quick cooking) oats
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Beat butter and sugars by hand with a wooden spoon until pale yellow and very light. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until fluffy. Add oats and mix to combine. Whisk together remaining ingredients and fold into oatmeal mixture using a large spatula or wooden spoon. Place dough in heaping tablespoons on parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake at 350F for 10-15 minutes or until edges are brown. Cookies will still feel slightly undercooked and soft when removed from the oven. Repeat until all cookies are baked.
Just made these today, and this is my new favorite oatmeal cookie recipe. I only made 1/2 of it and ended up with 24 cookies. Very chewy and tasty. You definitely do not want to overcook them, or they'll get too dry.
